With how distraught his family was, Ian felt his heart ache too. He genuinely hated himself for failing to protect Jenna, and in the end, he was clenching his fists so hard that veins were already showing up on his knuckles…
To his shock, however, he suddenly heard a familiar voice whimpering, “…Xavia…! Mom…!”
Xavia appeared to have heard it as well, and upon turning around… she was greeted by the sight of Jenna looking almost like an apparition in her white dress! Though shocked and slightly convinced that a ghost was standing before her, Xavia didn’t care. After all, even if she was a ghost, she was someone whom she missed dearly!
With that in mind, Xavia quickly got up and asked, “J-Jenna…! Did you hear our pleas and return as a ghost…?!”
“Indeed…! Are you really our beloved Jenna?!” added Yasmin as she quickly began walking over to her as well… But before the two women could get to her, Ian stood before them with his arms spread out.
“…If you’re truly a ghost, then it’s best not to let Xavia get too close for the time being. It could end up harming the babies.”
Upon hearing all that, Jenna couldn’t help but laugh… and after rubbing the tears off the corners of her eyes, Jenna replied, “…Hey… I’m still alive, you know…”
Naturally, this left Ian utterly flabbergasted. After all, his personnel had told him that she had been blown to bits!
Before Ian could inquire her any further, however, James and Jacob suddenly revealed themselves and said, “Don’t worry, she’s the real deal. We know because we saved her!”
…Damn it, that was their goal?! Rubbing his temple, Ian sighed before muttering, “…Fine. Just don’t pull off something like this again before notifying me…”
Grinning in response, the twins replied, “As long as you keep your part of the deal. We’re family, so if you ignore us again, then we’re free to make our own plans as well, got that?”
As Ian was left speechless once more, Xavia herself was already smiling as she said, “…Thank you, James and Jacob… You two are equally as great as Ian is!”
Following that, she hugged Jenna tightly while exclaiming, “Putting all that aside, I’m so happy that you’re still alive…! I… I finally have a loving sister…!”
